Cooking Safety  
Never heat an unopened food container in the oven.  
Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting  
in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.  
CAUTION  
NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets  
above an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance  
or on the appliance door to reach items could be  
seriously injured.  
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause  
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should  
never be used as potholders because they can trail across  
hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.  
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the  
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should  
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the  
appliance as they could be injured or burned.  
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-  
sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking.  
Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes in  
contact with heating elements.  
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in  
it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of  
reach of small children. Children should be taught that an  
appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to  
play with controls or other parts of the appliance.  
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while  
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,  
using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into  
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved  
while hot, use a dry potholder. Do not let potholder  
contact hot element in oven.  
About Your Appliance  
Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/  
purchased.  
CAUTION  
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
NEVER use an appliance as a step to reach cabinets  
above. Misuse of appliance door, such as stepping,  
leaning or sitting on the door, may result in possible  
tipping of the appliance, breakage of door, and serious  
injuries.  
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food  
manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food  
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise  
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food  
and its container. The food could be contaminated.  
To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the  
appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to heat  
or warm a room. Also, do not use the oven as a storage  
area for food or cooking utensils.  
Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact  
heating element.  
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.  
Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven vent.  
Utensil Safety  
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR  
SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even  
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any  
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and  
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of  
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other  
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to  
cause burns – among these surfaces are: oven vent  
opening and surface near this opening, oven door,  
window of oven door.  
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven  
cooking bags.  
This appliance has been tested for safe performance  
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or  
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this  
guide. Do not use add-on oven convection systems. The  
use of devices or accessories that are not expressly  
recommended in this guide can create serious safety  
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the  
life of the components of the appliance.  
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element  
will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing  
or potholder.  
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as  
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect  
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid  
electrical shock.  
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,  
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for  
cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the  
sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil  
manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.  
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven  
bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire,  
or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in  
this guide.

Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into  
the room or over another surface element. This reduces  
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or  
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small  
children.  
Self-Clean Oven  
CAUTION  
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven  
racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe  
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.  
Cooktop  
NEVER leave surface units unattended, especially when  
using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause  
smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.  
Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for  
a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or  
move the gasket.  
This appliance is equipped with different sized surface  
elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to  
cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve  
cooking efficiency.  
Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in or  
around any part of the self-clean oven.  
Important Safety Notice  
and Warning  
GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE: NEVER cook on broken  
cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and  
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a  
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician  
immediately.  
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement  
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of  
California to publish a list of substances known to the  
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,  
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential  
exposures to such substances.  
Deep Fat Fryers  
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or  
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before  
attempting to move pan.  
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the  
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be  
some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances,  
including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances  
can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the  
outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room  
where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.  
Ventilating Hoods  
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease  
or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood  
or filter and to avoid grease fires.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never  
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes  
from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive  
respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven  
self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes  
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and  
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.  
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.  
Cleaning Safety  
Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait  
for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning.  
Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a  
wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot  
surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if  
applied to a hot surface.  
Clean only parts listed in this guide.

oven relays as they go on and off. This is normal.  
• As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal  
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not  
damage your appliance.  
Surface Cooking  
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through  
the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off  
to maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.  
Surface Controls  
Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of  
heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can  
be set on or between any of the settings.  
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.  
Dual Elements  
Setting the Controls  
The cooking surface has two dual elements  
located in the right front and left front of  
the smoothtop. This allows you to change  
the size of these elements.  
1. Place pan on surface element.  
2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired  
heat setting.  
• The control panel is marked to identify which  
element the knob controls. For example, the  
graphic at right indicates left front element.  
Press the switch to the left to use the  
large element or to the right to use the  
small element. The selection should be  
made before turning on the element.  
3. There is an element indicator light on the control panel.  
When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will  
turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface  
elements are turned off.  
CAUTION  
AFTER COOKING  
• Make sure surface unit is turned off.  
• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.  
BEFORE COOKING  
• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it  
on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface  
unit without a pan in place.  
NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or  
cookware.  
OTHER TIPS  
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking  
surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can  
be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-  
tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids,  
cleaners or aerosol sprays.  
NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the  
cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable  
items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in  
closed containers causing them to burst.  
NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other  
metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to  
contact heating elements.  
NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall  
and damage it.  
DURING COOKING  
• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface  
unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.  
• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a  
lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a  
high heat setting for extended cooking.  
NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the  
pan and the appliance.  
NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some  
parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units,  
to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders  
to protect hands.

cooking covered foods or steam foods.  
Medium (5-7): Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts  
of liquids and for most frying operations.  
FlexChoiceTM Element (select models)  
The FlexChoice element is a fully  
functioning element that provides an  
ultra low (Warm) heat setting for  
holding delicate sauces and keeping  
cooked foods warm. It is located in the

Notes:  
Important: When using the normal settings for preparing  
foods, it may take a few minutes for the cooking area to cool  
to the Warm heat setting.  
Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few  
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.  
Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time  
after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off  
a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use  
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot  
surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool  
enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the  
smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in  
settings as quickly as coil elements.  
Warming Center  
Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods warm, such  
as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.  
Setting the Control:  
1. Push in and turn the knob. Warming  
temperatures are approximate and  
are indicated on the control as Min,  
2-8 and Max. However, the control  
can be set to any position between  
Min and Max.  
• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from  
the cooking surface.  
Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

the Warming Center surface has cooled.  
Important:  
Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30  
minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.  
Cooking Areas  
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent  
circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,  
fit the pan size to the element size.

Fried Foods  
Hot Beverages  
• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the  
cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains  
on the cooking surface after the area is heated.  
Soups (Liquid)  
• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in  
a permanent stain.  
Notes:  
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for  
oven and cooktop use.  
To Prevent Other Damage  
Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar  
content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen,  
clean immediately. (See Cleaning, pages 5-6.)  
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the  
Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.  
• All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to  
maintain food quality.  
Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and  
pan.  
• When warming pastries and breads the cover should have  
an opening to allow moisture to escape.  
Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.  
Never cook food directly on the surface.  
Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt  
on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.  
Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does  
this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning  
onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.  
Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or  
uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or  
oversized canners and griddles.  
Tips to Protect the  
Smoothtop Surface  
Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto  
the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an  
authorized servicer.  
Cleaning (see page 6 for more information)  
Before first use, clean the cooktop.  
• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep  
your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.  
Cookware Recommendations  
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such  
as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent  
results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less  
energy, and cook food more evenly.  
• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the  
spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough  
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a  
clean, dry towel.  
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the  
cooktop trim for a long period of time.  
Flat Pan Tests  
Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads  
which will scratch the cooktop.  
See if your pans are flat.  
The Ruler Test:  
Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not  
specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.  
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.  
2. Hold it up to the light.  
To Prevent Marks and Scratches  
3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.  
The Bubble Test:  
Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.  
Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and  
pan. These items can mark or etch the top.  
1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn  
control to High.  
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans  
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See  
Cleaning, page 6.)  
2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.  
Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven  
bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.  
• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before  
turning on to prevent scratches.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature  
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the  
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning  
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges  
get older, the oven temperature can shift.  
3. After four seconds, the oven will start.  
• BROIL will remain lit.  
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is  
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to  
change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or  
lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results  
of the “test” should give you an idea of how much to adjust  
the temperature.  
4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3-4  
minutes before adding food.  
5. Place food in the oven. Leave oven door open about four  
inches (the first stop).  
6. Turn meat once about halfway through cooking.  
To adjust the oven temperature:  
7. When food is cooked, press the CANCEL  
pad. Remove food and broiler pan from the  
oven.  
1. Press Bake.  
2. Enter 550° by pressing the More+ pad.

seconds or until 0° appears in the display.  
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the  
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven  
temperature was reduced by 15° the display will show  
“-15°”.  
Notes:  
• For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for  
broiling.  
• Expect broil times to increase and browning to be slightly  
lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt circuit.  
4. Press the More+ or Less- pad to adjust the temperature.
